Fixing Docs

Overview

A validated, current approval set is the only authority, and the applier is the only writer. One door lands every record type — drift and bloat alike — because after minting the flow is identical; the record's finding code is internal routing, not a different skill.

You never edit a document under audit. Not with Edit, not with Write, not with sed, not "just this one line". Every byte that lands is written by python3 -m doclifecycle apply-plan, from an edit plan bound to an approval set the engine validated against both the report and the repository.

Violating the letter of the flow is violating the spirit of the flow. The point is not ceremony: a diff produced any other way carries no proof of what authorized it, so a reviewer cannot tell an approved remedy from your opinion.
